Video shows the terrifying moment Disney park guests were forced to plummet to the ground and brace for a powerful earthquake.

Of the six Disney Resorts worldwide, two are located in areas with high earthquake risk: Disneyland Resort and Tokyo Disney Resort. Thanks to its location on the Pacific Ring of Fire, the latter is located in the most earthquake-prone country in the world, experiencing an average of 1,500 to 2,000 earthquakes annually.

The most significant earthquake to hit the Tokyo Disney Resort was, of course, the 9.1 Tohoku earthquake of 2011. While Tokyo was not damaged anywhere near as bad as other areas in Japan, both Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea have had to cease operations in midday. Its parking areas were flooded due to liquefaction, and at least 20,000 of its 69,000 visitors had to spend the night inside the parks due to the shutdown of Tokyo’s public transportation.

Fortunately, none of the guests or members of staff were injured during the 2011 earthquake. Tokyo Disney Resort has comprehensive safety measures in place in the event of an emergency, including acoustic earthquake warning systems.

Today, the systems were put to the test when an earthquake hit the Tokyo area. A video shared by Twitter user a_s_arichan shows guests at Tokyo DisneySea falling to the ground as a pre-recorded ad warned guests in both Japanese and English, “Watch out, prepare for a strong earthquake.”

While the quake had a magnitude of 6.2, reports indicate that it was registered with a magnitude of only 3 in Tokyo. No tsunami warning was issued.

Tokyo Disney is more than prepared for earthquakes. Cast members are routinely trained in disaster response, and the resort is said to maintain emergency food stocks that can feed 50,000 guests for up to three days.
